Teaching Portfolio
Are you thinking of applying for a teaching position?
A teaching portfolio, or pedagogical portfolio, is a compilation of your teaching qualifications. The portfolio is used for appointments of staff and promotions, as a way of assessing the pedagogical competence.
The Unit for academic teaching offers seminars on this topic, which are sometimes announced together with Junior Faculty.
Other portfolios
The Disciplinary Domain of Medicine and Pharmacy has compiled instructions for assembling portfolios for research, administration & management, and collaboration. Use them as inspiration even if you belong to other domains.
